This double bullaun stone (1.8m N-S; 1.53m E-W) is lying deeply embedded in the ground in the S section of the graveyard (GA094-072003-) within the early ecclesiastical enclosure (GA094-072002-) at Roscam. It contains two almost circular basins: that at the E side of the stone is very shallow (dims. 0.31m x 0.29m; D 0.08m), while that at the W side is deeper (dims. 0.43m x 0.41m; D 0.18m). A triple bullaun is visible c. 1m to the SE. Both bullaun stones were regarded locally as holy wells (Fahey 1901a, 229). Named on the 1944-5 revision of the OS 6-inch maps as 'Penitential Station'.
